Learn how gender and background affect us
Studying Sociology, you will learn how people's health is affected by gender, as well as by social and ethnic background. If you are interested in inequality and discrimination based on gender, class and ethnicity – Sociology is the right subject for you.
Demography
If you want to understand the challenges society faces as populations change, then Demography is the right subject for you.

Learn about human populations and how they change
How does migration affect society? How are employment, family policy and childbearing related? These are some examples of questions you will explore when studying Demography. The studies include topics such as fertility, mortality and migration.
